If you are shopping for a real green car than your options are the following:

  • Toyota Prius

You will hardly find the better hybrid. The car was introduced to the U.S. in 2001, and now the Toyota Prius is the world’s best-selling hybrid car. What is more, it is the most fuel efficient gas-electric powered vehicle. Apart from these two characteristics, the car is rather big, spacious and offers a plenty backseat legroom and ample hatchback cargo capacity.

  • Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010

The Ford Fusion Hybrid is much bigger than Prius and boasts a fantastic techy interior. The car looks very impressive and hot. Everything in the car is within a reaching distance. However, the car has some problems as to being really green but such giants as Apple pay no attention and still use Ford.

  • Lexus HS 250h 2010

Lexus HS 250h offers not rather small emissions’ level but an ultimate luxury as well. The car is exceptionally good-looking and its fuel cost of 7.4 c/mile is rather impressive. Apart from being green the HS 250h uses smart key and push-button start, has the Remote Touch hard-drive-based navigation system, Voice control, nav traffic and nav weather, LED taillights and much more.
